    I’m sure the 76ers are in on it but it sucks for people buying tickets.

    Im not sure there is a realistic way to address it with a negative beyond award eligibility which impacts contract eligibility.

    The teams are making so much money it’s not worth a lockout to try to work language into the cba to punish people who decide in advance to sit out 18-20 percent of the season. You just plan accordingly I guess.

    Fans better learn to do the same.

    He's constantly injured so makes sense

    What's crazy is that there are still fans who think this guy is the best big man in the league...He's the Center version of James Harden.

    Sure. People like him have existed forever. One of those Bill Walton 30 something game seasons as a Clipper was just a plan to have him play only home games and a couple others to see if he could make it through.

    The issue is when people who don’t have such issues just kinda milk it and teams that are weak letting it happen.

    I wonder what Jimmy Butler plays this year with Riley having called him out.

    A Wilt stretch:





    They can say what they want about his opponents the court was the same size. A lot of guys today wouldn’t make it up and down the court that many times at the pace they played.

    Dude didn’t come out of a game the whole season other than when he was kicked out for a fight.

    I know Wilt gets clowned on for his era and his playoff shortcomings, but that level of endurance isn't even human. Just looking at his game log from that season, on 12/08 he played 63 minutes, then played 48 minutes the next 2 nights and 5 of the next 6, and did this while taking 40+ shots a game.

    It doesn't fully justify things but butler's namesake dad died last year. With the wild way he came up he had some issues not truly out of control and crazy but a little different.

    Embiid would need surgery if he played 5 straight games. Everyone has different injury proneness and he is more close to Bill Walton than he is to Wilt unfortunately.
